Principal's Corner
We have officially made it into the second half of the school year. Students are working hard on their midyear benchmarking through AimsWeb and NWEA. Staff will be using results of these assessments to plan and adjust instruction in Reading and Math.
Report cards will be sent out electronically on Friday, February 2, 2024. If you would like to have a hard copy please connect with your child's teacher.

EVS PTA Notice
The EVS PTA is excited to offer After School Enrichment Programs from Monday April 22nd through Thursday May 16th from 3:15 to 4:30pm. We are looking for volunteers to offer these programs (e.g. cooking, painting, science, arts & crafts, board games, etc.). Please help us spread the word to the wider community!

Winter Weather Gear
Students should come to school each day prepared for the weather. We go to recess a few different times throughout the day unless the temperature or wind chill is below 10 degrees.
In order for students to access the whole field they need to have:
boots
hats
jackets
snow pants
mittens or gloves
If you need assistance getting any of those things, please reach out.

A Note From Your School Nurse
When should my child stay home?
Our recommendations:
For a temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. A student should be fever-free without fever-reducing medication (such as Tylenol or Motrin) for at least 24 hours before returning to school.
Vomiting and/or diarrhea. Students may return to school 24 hours after the last episode.
Suspected/untreated communicable disease (i.e. chicken pox).
Suspected/untreated bacterial infection of the eyes (i.e. conjunctivitis), nose, throat (i.e. strep throat), skin (i.e. scabies), or scalp.
Students should stay home for the first 24 hours of antibiotic therapy.
Rash with fever or behavior change, until a healthcare provider determines that these symptoms do not indicate a communicable disease.
Illness which prevents students from participating comfortably in school activities (i.e. excessive coughing or excessive fatigue).
Illness which results in greater care needs than school staff can provide without compromising the health and safety of other students.
Extra Clothing
Please send a set of extra clothing in a plastic bag labeled with your child’s name. It is important that we have an extra set of clothing in case of spills or accidents. Thank you.

Lunch Balances
There are a couple of different ways to pay for student breakfast/lunch balances.

- You can set up an online account through MyMealtime and put money on their account. Check out the food services section of the school website for more information.
You will receive a paper copy of any outstanding balances. If you need help, please reach out to the office.
